I was hidden so we could be safe.
I survived so I could reclaim my life.
Now, everything has been destroyed by the same evil always lurking in the shadows.
Time is running out and my world keeps unraveling.
All I can do is put my trust in the boy with the messy blond hair, icicle eyes and lips that tell lies.
Can the Midwest Boys protect me?
The body count around town would suggest otherwise.
My job was simple. Keep her alive, make sure she follows the rules and keep her out of trouble.
I’ll win back her trust and keep her safe no matter what it costs me.
The girl with the purple hair and eyes that flare to life when I’m near are my undoing.
She used to be my enemy.
Now death and destruction are following her and loyalty has been stained by spilled blood.
Someone waged a war against Rogue. It’s time to answer back.

I had not heard about this series before but yes, you do need to read book 1, #MNGirl first. This book picks up where that book left off. Saylor, Ciaran, Kai and Silas have definitely changed since we met them in book 1. And I’ve tried for both books to figure out how to say Ciaran and I’ve got nothing. I’m thinking Ci is like “Cee” or “Sy”? I could go either way. You tell me what you think.
This book, well this series, totally took me for a ride. I was not expecting what I read, but that isn’t a bad thing. There is romance, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and so much more. I will be re-reading this book again because I’m sure there are things I’ve missed that I will pick up the next time I read it.
I can’t wait to read more of this series. I need Silas and Kai’s stories STAT! Silas definitely intrigues me and I cannot wait to see his future.
5 stars!






I tell myself I can have three days. Three days to stay under my covers, eyes closed, be numb and drown out the world, before I need to make plans. Everything I thought I knew is gone. The pain in my chest roars and pushes against my organs, until I let a silent scream escape. My whole body hurts. It’s unbearable to do nothing, and yet, I have no energy to get up. I don’t want to face my reality. She was just sitting here, smiling and making plans for a future. Their faces are all I see when my eyes close. Those images on the screen at Rogue are all I see when my eyes are open. I can’t escape and that thought takes my breath away. I’m trapped.

From reading the synopsis, you’d think ok playboy actor who is a manwh*re yada yada. But no. Just no. Andrew is NOT what you are expecting. Which if you’ve read any Max Monroe books, you know these ladies do nothing you expect, except that you will laugh your pants off!
Andrew and Birdie are nothing like you’d think. Every Max Monroe character seems to have sass in spades and Birdie absolutely does and Andrew LOVES and LIVES to drive her to sass master. Plus you will recognize the secondary characters from other Max Monroe books.
Yes, Andrew was a cocky manwh*re. He freely admits that, but it’s his actions that truly helped define him. Even when he was being super arrogant, he was taking care of Birdie and making sure that she was ok. So you can’t really hate the guy.
One book I should not have stayed up reading because it was too funny but I have insomnia anyway so oh well :).
5 stars!!











Karen Frances’ Collision is a fast-paces, steamy, contemporary romance
written in K. Bromberg’s Driven World Project.
Scottish Formula One hotshot Ryan Jackson has always lived life on the
edge. Fuelled by adrenaline, it’s hardly surprising the controlled,
confident, and hugely successful driver has the world at his feet. He
could have anything or anyone just by snapping his fingers.
By comparison, Ellie Cooper’s life has never been easy. Everything she
has she’s worked damn hard for, including her career as a newspaper
reporter. Not bad for a girl who has fought for survival all her life at
the hands of a neglectful drug addict mother.
Little did Ellie know that, by rubbing elbows with the rich and famous,
she would gain insight to the private side of Ryan Jackson that few
people rarely see.
But when hidden desires lead to dangerous collisions, could it lead to a
happy-ever-after?

J.P. Nicholas’ Chemistry is a heartwarming, sexy, contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project.
Look, she started it—twice! Once at the car repair shop when she wouldn’t stop staring at me. That’s right, I noticed. It wasn’t by any means subtle. And once again when she backed her cute, perky a** into me in sync to some girl group tune blaring on the radio. Sure, she didn’t know I was there that time—probably. But in my defense, the bakery was still open. So really, you can’t blame me for that one either.
Both times, her cheeks flushed the most curious shade of pink I have ever seen. And I can’t help but wonder if that blush creeps further south, if you catch my drift. Now I can’t stop thinking all the naughty thoughts that run through my mind whenever she’s around and I really have to—no seriously, I HAVE TO! Turns out she’s my new student’s mother.
Imagine my surprise when that same woman who I can’t seem to get off my mind showed up in my Chemistry class and presented me with an offer my big heart couldn’t refuse—to tutor her son.
I know, I know. I’m supposed to be tutoring her son…so then why does it feel like I’m the one being schooled in Chemistry?

Blurb:
I thought he was the white knight. Looking back, it makes sense. I was young and needed saving. Luca was my strength. He could take on anything—the world, for me. They say first love cuts the deepest. Ours became a blade that bled me out. It turns out I didn’t know a villain when he held my heart in his hands. Now it’s darker—more like his.
Elise was my whole world—until my world burned, and I destroyed her with me. Some betrayals you can’t undo, no matter how much you wish you could. I can’t help who I am now, and why would I want to? I run this city. No one’s going to take me down—not even the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. I heard they’ve got a file eight inches thick on Don Galante. But dodging bullets is my business. They play dirty, but there’s no one dirtier than me.
The DA learns the hard way who’s in charge; he’s out. It should be time for celebration. There’s just one problem: his heir. Or should I say heiress? Elise O’Hara wears a crown of lies, a gown of red, and a fat diamond on her left hand. Now it’s me and her. Or her and me. Only one of us will be left standing when the story’s over.
This is how you write a tragedy.

Until one day, life as I knew it was crushed into tiny little pieces.
I was charged with a murder I didn’t commit.
And no matter how much I begged for justice, no one believed me.
Least of all the man who promised to stand by me through anything.
And the husband of the woman I allegedly killed?
He vowed for me to live in a hell on earth–and even then it wouldn’t be enough to atone for my sin.
His words rang in my ears every single day as life became an endless nightmare.
With time, I grew to hate him so much my heart burned from it.
Until three years later new evidence was found.
And everyone believed my truth.
I might be free but I’m still part of a twisted game the monster is playing.
And the only way I can survive in it?
Trust a man who I promised to hate till my last dying breath.

About the Author:
V.F.Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her momma over the genre she liked (romance, duh!) She studied filmmaking and thought that would feed her desire for stories, but that didn’t happen. Finally, when she was tired of all those voices in her head, she sat down and wrote a book. It was a huge decision to make and she thanks her friends and family for supporting her in it. When she is not writing, she can be found with her friends doing all sorts of crazy things or reading recent romance books that were written by her favorite authors.
